Quick Picks

Hello all,

I’ve been quiet lately, but it’s because I’ve been traveling and haven’t been watching as many movies. With the end of Sundance, though, I’ve got some great new stuff to look forward to.

A doc that premiered at Sundance, Exit Through the Gift Shop, is getting great reviews. It follows — but doesn’t unmask — Banksy. I’ve heard that the less you know about this film going in, the better it is. See the trailer by clicking through the title.

Also from Sundance is Buried, which I don’t think I will see. The entire film takes place in a coffin with buried-alive Ryan Reynolds.

One of my favorite blogs, Four Four, posted about a really intense documentary called I Think We’re Alone Now, which is available on Netflixnow.

The two subjects of the documentary have had severe challenges in life, and it’s hard to watch them talk about their devotion. Rob almost immediately turned away and said that he couldn’t watch the doc. I’m not sure if I have the stomach to, either.

And then, there are documentaries like Last Train Home, which follows the struggle of Chinese migrant workers as they cram their way past millions of others to board a train home for their sole holiday.

The trailer makes the air smell a little sweeter on this side of the world, doesn’t it?
